In 1997, he published a book, Marcus Schenkenberg: New Rules, which featured numerous photos and personal notes and comments on his modeling career, as well as contributions from colleagues, family members and people in the fashion and modeling business.
In 1999, he was asked by a friend to record a song, which was meant for fun but was followed by a contract with EMI.[2] "La Chica Marita" was produced by Tony Catania[3] and was also released on the soundtrack of the movie Flawless with Robert De Niro. Schenkenberg described the work on the song and video as good experience, but he remained more interested in acting.[4]
During the early nineties he had relationships with the models Maureen Gallegher, Catherine Hardenborg and Rosemarie Wetzel.[8] Schenkenberg dated various prominent women during the following years, including Mariah Carey,[9]Nicky Hilton,[7] Niki Köhler, Victoria Silvstedt[7] and Jessica Simpson.[7] His relationship with Pamela Anderson between 2000 and 2001 made him more well-known to the public aside from his modelling.[10]
